Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming apparatus uses a halftone spot consisting of multiple dot images formed in pixel areas so as to represent a gray scale and to reproduce an image. It has a halftone processor for generating image reproduction data for each pixel by referring to a transformation table wherein gray level data for the image and correlated image reproduction data are stored. The transformation table includes first look-up tables that each store gray level data and correlated first image reproduction data, including size data for virtual dots, each of which corresponds to one of the dot images, second look-up tables that each store gray level data and correlated second image reproduction data, including size data for virtual dots, each of which corresponds to one of the dot images, and a pattern matrix, elements of which are correlated with multiple pixels in a predetermined area of an image and each indicate one of the first look-up tables and one of the second look-up tables that are to be referred to. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a random number generator that receives a number of input bits based on at least one random or pseudo-random source. The bits are compressed according to a compression scheme like Ziv-Lempel in order to enhance the entropy and randomness of the random source(s). Additionally, any eventual problem regarding drifting statistical characteristics, e.g. due to temperature change, aging of components, etc. is minimised/eliminated. In this way a random number generator is provided that generates high quality random numbers securely and efficiently. This invention also relates to a corresponding method for generating at least one random number based on a hardware source/unit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An internal fault indicator for an electrical device is triggered by a sudden increase in pressure as occurs when an insulation failure creates an electric arc. The heat released in the arc is transferred onto the surrounding volume causing localized overheating, vaporization and decomposition of the insulating material. The resulting pressure surge moves a diaphragm. The movement of the diaphragm releases a spring driven plunger from a barrel which extends through the housing of the electrical device. Prior to activation the plunger is held in an "armed" position by a retaining pin. Upon triggering, the plunger is pushed by the spring until it protrudes from the housing to provide a visual signal of the internal fault. A pressure relief valve may be integrated with the internal fault indicator.

Abstract: A turbocharger (32) creates intake manifold boost for a diesel engine (10). At times, exhaust valve opening is increasingly retarded in relation to the engine operating cycle to cause the turbocharger to increase boost, engine fueling is also increased in relation to the increased boost, and in response to any incipient surging of the compressor resulting from such increasingly retarded exhaust valve opening and such increased engine fueling, compressed charge air is bled from the intake manifold to counter the incipient surging and thereby avoid any significant turbocharger surge.
